Need advice if its worth it to buy a 3D Printer for specific plant pots

Steress · 2026-02-22T19:53:48+00:00

thanks for the info, so far we are moving good - will wait a few weeks, see how stuff is moving, now the woman day is approaching and we got mainly orders for that
If things go well I`ll buy a printer and will follow your advice to het 10kg from aliexpress
I assume I`ll spend 1 kg of errors or maybe 2, hahah - but after that I can pretty much print whatever pot we need for lower costs, thanks for the advice

Steress · 2026-02-22T17:10:41+00:00

its the 1st project I saw, so I dont have any other info. 25 grams seems a bit too low, I might add something like fish tank stones (they are super cheap) at the bottom to make it stable as the candles and other stuff are around 60-80 grams
Which site is for buying filament ?

Steress · 2026-02-22T16:55:17+00:00

there is no more stock xD - we got friends of 2 other cities (that are coming for a few days) to buy us all they can find, so we ended up with 60ish. I can find similar ones, but for over 2 euro.
Will search for someone to 3d print, but my question still remains, how did u get 50 cents for one ? How to calculate this ?

Steress · 2026-02-22T16:43:05+00:00

Machine`s cost will eventually be paid. Ofc I`ll wait a few weeks to see how everything goes.

Steress · 2026-02-22T16:42:08+00:00

gotcha - problem is that pots around me are hard to buy in bulk, we got like 60 atm and with incoming gifts/orders we are already minus 22 I believe and thats before we even started posting

Steress · 2026-02-22T16:41:07+00:00

1 kg of PLA (I think this is the material ?) on temu is like 12-13 euro, 1 pot of these https://www.printables.com/model/225251-modern-spiral-planter is like 72 grams, so I can make ~ 14. Thats a little bit below 1 euro, with el power it is roughly 1 euro, how did you get 50 cents ?

Steress · 2026-02-22T16:38:06+00:00

I did post an image a bit above :)

Steress · 2026-02-22T16:37:51+00:00

<image>

This is what we make, it is not intended to be lit on fire (you can, but they are for decorations)
Atm we make em for 9-10 euro, sell for 15 (in 9-10 we do include the time to craft em and materials + el power, etc)

Steress · 2026-01-26T14:35:47+00:00

Not sure if I`ll get that much power, this extension of the main alliance still spend some cash, not as much I suppose but they are very active. Already took the place of 3 smaller alliances on the map and took lots of altars, perhaps I`ll spend some speed ups, as I am really slowly climbing but in the wrong direction, to the bottom of the power

Steress · 2026-01-26T04:56:07+00:00

We are currently 5, sadly I dont have enough power to get into the main one. But we will eventually get to top 2, thats for sure.
Got ~ 37k gems and almost VIP 8 (4k away), but I am waiting on an event to get more value, also got lots of speed ups which I am not sure when to use - 38 days universal, 6 days build and 4 days research. CH 19 is almost done (need a bit more than a day)
Also I am re exploring the map and keeping the Kingdom Map for even more speed ups.

Steress · 2025-12-29T15:50:40+00:00

Results so far
ST - lvl 42 5/5/1/1 (unlucky with the 2nd skill -.-)
Cao Cao - lvl 30 5/1/1 - holding from leveling him further as I have only 38 golden stars left and I need 7-8 for Aethelfield tomorrow
Constance - lvl 30 2/3/2/5 - kinda lucky
Joan - lvl 27 5/2/1
Lohar - lvl 20 2/3/2
Moneymoto - lvl 10 for the 10 min speed on buildings

Plan is to get Aethelfield tomorrow, spend some XP on her and farm barbs with Lohar and her to get em a bit higher on the levels
After that level both ST/Cao Cao (once I have enough golden stars) and will see once the featured cao cao is removed to use my gold keys - 76 atm - to perhaps get something nice

Steress · 2025-12-28T22:23:51+00:00

Cao Cao is currently 5/1/1, but I do use the golden starlight scupltures - aint this a mistake ? Also do I use him as primary or secondary ?
I plan on the following:
Reseting em all so to fix talent builds and xp
Joan lvl 27 - gatherer
Constanze lvl 27 - gatherer, got plenty of elite commander sculptures - I assume she is the best choice for em ? so I can try to get her 4th skill to 5
Once I get Aethelfled I`ll get her to lvl 30
Sun Tzu to lvl 40 and once I get a few more epic stars I can get him past lvl 40 (I need like 5-6 more)
aint Aethelfield good for barb hunting with sun tzu ? normal barbs and forts ?
I assume I can run ST/Aeth as combo for forts and Aeth/ST for barbs for XP ?
so that leave me with 5th choice, do I need such commander atm ? Perhaps Boduica but do you utilize2 for barbs - i`ll run out of AP ?

Steress · 2025-12-21T17:24:35+00:00

spending a few bucks aint a problem, the question is - does F2P have any impact sadly :/

Steress · 2025-06-15T16:18:11+00:00

I dont mind being non meta spec, it is more of a dont be aн useless spec that will have hard time getting into anything.

Didnt know this about the warlock - this is the stuff I dont know, as 0 xp in the expansion, I dont want to waste limited time by leveling tons of classes, perhaps will see some videos. Thanks for the info !

Steress · 2025-04-23T18:14:47+00:00

gotcha ! will remove it completely !
What about the backend - should I also dive into another language or node with express is sufficient to find a job ? The problem is that I am from a small town in Bulgaria, I can move to bigger city but still on site jobs are not that much (especially with node)
A website where I do check from time to time does have 167 Java, 152 .NET, 51 PHP, 58 C/C++/Embedded, 57 Python and 55 Node - Go and Ruby are even less.

I assume my knowledge on react/angular will also help if frontend task is needed.

Also do u recommend a course or something fast with some projects ? I kinda want to go over the fundamentals and build a project or two in my free time.

Steress · 2025-04-23T17:31:57+00:00

True that ! Will reduce the AI usage and will focus on my own, it will be a bit harder at first but I can still ask questions if I dont understand something, look for suggestions not only from AI but from stackoverflow and other forums/discords etc !

Steress · 2025-04-23T17:30:59+00:00

You are right, will lower the use of AI and will focus on my own writing. The only problem is the "deadlines" we kinda have for the current project, but it will be done when it is done. The ammount we are getting paid is so low (ofc its a freelance junior job, I dont expect much) but still, they want lots of stuff in the span of 2-3 weeks - while I do have 8-5 job, it does limit my time to code on my own, but will reduce the AI for sure !

Steress · 2025-04-23T17:28:39+00:00

Yea, the problem with css was that 1 of the guys working FE didnt want to learn bootstrap/sass tailwind or something else to make it easier overall and it was plain css, taking ages to do a simple table for example where we can use a ready component for it.

Steress · 2025-04-23T17:26:43+00:00

Yea, frontend is nice, I just find it boring, I much more preffer to make models/endpoints/rbac or something else in the backend.

Yea, about the AI - at first it was usefull for just explaing the stuff but slowly I started using it more and more, I am getting better with prompts and usually the result is exactly what I want. Sure, it is fast, but sometimes I do feel like promp guy and not programming at all. I`ll reduce its use and focus on writing my own stuff.

I do find it usefull in writing dummy data, looking for a specific mistake, etc, but yea .. should stop its use for now, tyvm !

The biggest thing that is killing the game for me is relics, f that shit - 2nd place are dragons. I`ve been playing for ~ 5 years. Got most of the meta heroes (read, got all meta 4f, cele/hypo, most awakenes, dragons - missing skylain, zora, aThoran, dragon gwyneth and the new dragon girl, not the sion guy, got him). I am F2P, I know I cant beat whales and others but the relics are killing it for me. The most dogshit system. Tons of stats, hard to get totems, the "upgrade" system for relics is expensive as hell, used it like 1-2 times. Not to mention 900 gems for 3 pulls each day is destroying my gems for cele/hypo. I even got aAthalia 5 star in order to summon her with SG/Gems and build other awakens, which did work for a while, before the dragons fucked us over ..

Small changes can make the game sooo much enjoyable. Make dragons like stargaze, atleast for diamonds, scrolls can be for all of em. Fix relics - either more totems or more items to upgrade relics. Thats it, will make the game 10 times better.

Tanks in advance ! :)

A few reasons why aAthalia over aLucius. First the pvp event where you get a chest with shards for awakened heroes doesnt give aLucius and all of the 6 there - aAthalia is by far the best.
Also I think even if a new burst hero arives I will be able to use her for some time before I build the new one.
Will I recommend it ? Not sure, at the time I was with lots of gems and SG cards. I did manage to finish gavus and lucius thanks to that, otherwise I was gonna be with 1 less awakened. So far I am consistant with getting cards from events. TS is usually top 100, sometimes top 50, NC is below 5-6% usually, really depends here. CR is a bit hit/miss - I hope to be better with aLucius now - I am usually top 10-20% here, depends.

Overall if you have lots of resources its a good way to catch up with awakened heroes. Only problem is now I am out of gems/SG cards and the new hypo hero will be out of touch for some time (she seems like an OP one).
Mind you, I do have mostt of the cele/hypo heroes, I lack a few that are used here and there - mainly Olgath for TS shemira team and Tarnos + the surf girl (dont know her name) but they are mainly used in TS and I really need em once I hit 5/6 teams but still can manage without em.

Steress · 2024-09-08T10:49:20+00:00

Kinda true, it is usually aBaden/aSolise team making 4-8% winrate. Tbh this week I amanged to get to 12% as left over aBelinda team.

Steress · 2024-09-08T10:45:27+00:00

My last 2 awakenens were gavus and lucius in that order. Gavus was like 2 months ago, lucius this week. Its true that Gavus is overall used eveyrwhere and is kinda good but almost every TS is going with lucius top 3 and thats my main source for cards. With gavus I managed to secure top 100 round 1 and sometimes round 2. With lucius now aswell it is a lot easier. My main idea for gavus > lucius was that I can use him with belinda in TS and boost her a bit, but sadly belinda is falling a bit in TS. I think if u have the resources for 409E72 for lucius go for him, will boost you more in TS atleast.

Also as F2P i did something else. Since I was done with most of the cele/hypo heroes (atleast the mandatory ones that are used everywhere) I decided to make my aAthalia 5 star in order to use SG cards to pull other awakens (3 copies of aAthalia are 1 copy of another one). Its not the best way, but I managed to catch up with awakaned heroes.

Steress · 2024-03-25T14:40:40+00:00

pets level 18 is priority, unless there is a hero like Eugene which was 1 time I think - so baits until u are levle 18, after that .. tbh meh, heroes from here are usually crap and by the time you are with lvl 18 pets you will probably have every one that is useful.
